Property ownership is an integral part of the Gambian constitution.

Land and property law in the Gambia is based on the British legal system and subject to the strict and unequivocal terms which govern it. This ensures that your property investment is absolutely secure.

All matters are dealt with in English and many Gambian lawyers have qualified and practiced in the UK itself.

As with all administrative systems minor inefficiencies may exist within Gambian bureaucracy but fees paid to accredited Gambian lawyers will often speed up the conveyancing process and dispel any uncertainties regarding sharp practice, bribery or taxation issues.

As mentioned above all utilities rates and taxes are locally and centrally fixed and controlled by national companies and government bodies.

The Government of The Gambia is strongly committed to private sector empowerment and the creation of an enabling environment to stimulate private investment in the country. This is being achieved through the combined use of sound macro-economic and financial programs on the one hand, and complementary social sector interventions on the other, all with a view to ensure more confidence in the economy and The Gambia as a safe haven for investment
